Rutskoi Threatens Gaidar

Former Vice President Alexander Rutskoi has taken his anti-government crusade to his homeland, something Ruslan Khasbulatov, his ally in last year's parliamentary uprising, can no longer do. Rutskoi returned to Kursk and threatened former acting Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar with a firing squad and the government with prison, Komsomolskaya Pravda reported Saturday. "Gaidar will definitely be put up against the wall, with a 'consumer basket'" on his head, the paper said, summarizing Rutskoi's speeches. "And one thing only awaits the whole present regime -- a prison cell." The region of Chechnya stripped former parliamentary speaker Khasbulatov of his right of residence in his native land. A Chechen government spokesman said Khasbulatov, had been charged with "collusion with Russian imperial forces," for opposing Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev.
